Alan Eaton’s Photos
In the Dust
A few Beverley photos from a 'Pongo', Alan Eaton.
"I was in the Pay Corps attached to the Queen's Surreys and the companies for which I was responsible were stationed on the Yemen border at a place called Mukeiras which had a very short gravel strip. The RAF flew me up country for a pay parade each fortnight with the supplies mainly between Khormaksar and Mukeiras."
RIGHT: XM108 which first flew in February 1958. She served with 84 and 30 Squadrons.
A familiar sight in the middle east. In the centre of the cloud of dust is just seen the Beverley which caused it.
LEFT: A Hawker Hunter, neatly photographed over a Beverley's tail.
RIGHT: An air-conditioned Land Rover with a typical crowd of 'poseurs'.
